British scientist from the University of Bristol (UK) Gerard Cheshire stated that he had deciphered the legendary Voynich manuscript.

The Voynich manuscript was named after the Polish dealer Wilfried Voynich, who bought it in 1912 from a male religious order of the Roman Catholic Church the order of St. Ignatius. Text got to the famous Irish writer Ethel Lilian Voynich, writes the journal Romance Studies.

The scientist, who managed to pick up the key to the text, claims that it was written on a rare proformances language.

According to Cheshire, he deciphered the text in just two weeks.

“This work is one of the most important events to date in romance linguistics. It is written in proformances language — the predecessor of the modern romance languages such as Portuguese, French, Spanish, Italian, Romanian, Catalan and Galician. In the middle Ages it was common within the Mediterranean, but were rarely used for writing official documents, as Latin remained the language of the Church and Royal power. Proformance it was lost until today,” explained Cheshire.

The fact that the names referred to people made by the Ministry of culture of Ukraine in the list of persons posing a threat to national security.

Also on the shelves of Ukrainians will not see the “notes of a practicing witch” Natalia Malinovskaya. In the Preface of the book advertised Russian propaganda TV channels.

Not allowed to import even children’s books and books of Soviet authors of the time, decorated as they are banned in Ukraine, Communist symbols or on the cover used the symbolism of the country-occupier.
